Curse

After 9 months as a W/Mo, I switched to W/Rt today. This gives me a great deal more versatility, but as I suspected it would, it requires a much greater degree of skill and concentration. That's not a problem, really, I learn very quickly, but now that I am back to square one (or maybe two

) with secondary profession skills, I would love it if you guys and gals could help me decide which skills are worthwhile for me to invest skill points and money in!

I'm not going to bother with spirits, since it takes more energy than a warrior can reasonably manage, so that narrows it down, some. Other than that, though, it's kind of trial and error! I want some help!

lol i love the great deal of versatility part and then swiftly moving on to trolling for a build.

if you actually look at the Rit skills you'll see there are maybe two that would actually benefit a warrior, since guided weapon sucks so bad.

feast of souls would rock. at least till the Rit found out

vital weapon
brutal weapon

Brutal weapon is what I was going to suggest... But I've used it on a Ranger, and I'm not sure a warrior could keep up the energy constrains.

Here are other nice weapon spells:

Nightmare Weapon
Wailing Weapon
Resilient Weapon
Vengeful Weapon
Weapon of Warding

Weapon of Warding only if you want 50% blocking. Resilient Weapon only if you know you will be facing lots of hexes and/or conditions. Wailing Weapon only if you need lots of interupts.

I'm not asking for a build, I always make my own. I'm asking what skills people think there's any point in me getting. So far everyone's been helpful... except you.

Moving on, I'm slowly but surely figuring this out. This profession combination is almost nonexistent (and I can see why, it's very tricky), so there's very little to help me make it work. I've gotten a pretty good idea now which weapon spells I want, but I still have to figure out most everything else. At this point I'm not even sure whether or not certain spirits would be worth the energy cost, espcially w/o Spawning Power.

This whole thing is pretty much an experiment, so far.

Zealous weapon should be able to keep 1-2 5e weapon spells on you if they last long enough.

resiliant weapon works if you have anyconditions whatsoever. IT totaly negates poisin while giving you +24 armor. Mix it with weilders boon and mend body and soul for removing blind. theres alot of combinations

i myself have been trying to make a Rt/W and as you might imagine its harder than it seems. The only thing it lacks is the armor to take advatage of the mass healing. If you go Rt/W spirit like is eccelent.

yeaa i love W/Rt i made my war like that too, nice to see other people using it too ,sometimes i use Splinter Weapon on my war for like hitting everyhting around me.

if you cast and the drop generous was tsungrai instantly that would be a heal sig on steroids with worse recharge but a replacement for tactics.

I prefer W/N or W/A over them all.

Terra Xin · Aug 29, 2006, 11:03 PM // 23:03

Yeah I've seen a few warriors take Generous was Tsungrai in place of the Tactics line, but just keep in mind that you're screwed when your life is below 10%, so if you're under fire, spam this skill whenever you can. The fact that you are holding an item for that short duration shouldn't raise the thought that you cant attack, just think about it this way - Healing sig + Standing there activating it.

Wailing weapon is really nice for instances when you're chasing a melee attacker thats attacking someone else.

I suppose you could use Ancestors Rage or Lamentation for good spike damage. Lamentation, remember, ignores armour and can only be used if your target is near a spirit or a corpse.

So far I haven't had many chances to try things out, but I appreciate the suggestions here. I'll give all of them a shot when I get the chance, and I'd love to hear more ideas, even crazy or unconventional ones. In the meantime, I got my warrior one of those nice, +5 energy endgame katana, and glad's boots and gauntlets, so I now have 27 energy for some more flexibility.

Try the Shock Axe build, simply take out Axe Rake for Bulls Charge and modifiy the Healing Signet to 130 with a Minor rune, that build rocks
